Jakc Kelly stood on the corner stomping his feet trying to keep warm. The Newsies had woken up to it being frigidly cold, they had all stuffed their jackets with extra newspapers to keep warm. Thus explaining why his business wasn't so good today. He'd only sold a handful of newspapers (the money barely making enough to buy a little something a Tibby's,but then he had to save it for neccessitys like the rent at the lodging house). He headed towards the part of the road where all the produce stands were, he slipped into the little crowds that attempted to come out in this weather. He had to find something or he'd starve today. He saw the apple in two seconds, he squeezed between two people and when the guy who ran it turned around he reached for it and grabbed it,slipping it into his pants pocket.
Rhiana saw Jack,too bad the guy who ran it saw him steal the apple.
"THEIF!" the man yelled,sending Jack running as the whistle of the bulls filled the air.
Rhiana bit her bottom lip,she didn't want Jack to get in trouble,she stuck one leg out and tripped one of the four bulls who went after Jack ,"whoops."

The bull, now on the ground, cursed under his breath. One of the other three came back to help him while the other two sped after Jack.

Jack weaved in and out of the crowd,looking back, the bulls were still too close for comfort,just as he turned his head the third time to see where they were at he tripped over a broom that was leaning against one of the carts.

The two bulls that were ahead pounced on Jack, joined a few seconds later by the other two. The one that Rhiana had tripped was the first one to recognize Jack. "It's dat Sullivan kid! Don't let him get away!" he yelled as the others struggled with Jack.

Jack stomped one of them in the foot,but another grabbed hold ,"LET ME GO!" he yelled.
Race turned a corner and saw the bulls on Jack, "JACK!" he yelled, running over and tried to pull the bulls off.
Rhiana watched in horror as another boy attacked the cops. She bit her lip, not sure what to do,she couldn't lose her job over this.

Race covered his head then kicked the bull between the legs, "DAT'S WHATCHA GET!" he yelled,he was mad,he had to control himself before he went off in Italian.
Jack kept kicking the bulls as much as he could possibly muster, "LEMME GO NOW!" he yelled,ripping his arm away from one of them,but then had to be careful of his already broke one.

When the bulls had left Rhiana ran to the other boy who lay spread eagled in the middle of the road.She remembered his name being mentioned so she tried it, "Racetrack?" she said,shaking him a little.
Race mumbled, "Huh?" he shook his head, "What dey do wit Jack!?" he yelled,getting up and looking around,he saw Rhiana, "Who are youse?"
"I'm Rhiana,the girl Jack met at Tibby's." Rhiana said.
"Oh." Race said, "Well I's gotta go find 'um."
Jack kicked one of them in the face,he was wearing down slowly as they dragged him to the little cart thingy.
((yeah,the cart thingy that the Refuge has..can't remember what it's called))

((lol I can't remember either))
The bulls were losing patience with Jack's constant squirming. they finally got him to the cart and threw him inside slamming the door and locking it behind him. Two different bulls sat in there to guard him.
Spot had heard the commotion and came around the corner, missing the carriage leaving but seeing Race with a rather nasty looking bruise on the side of his head. "Race! What's goin' on? An' what happened ta you?"

"Dey got Jack!" Race said, rubbing the bruise, "Da bulls got Jack! I dunno what happened but i's toined a corner and saw about four bulls on 'um!"
Jack couldn't do much of nothing but glare at the bulls,so thats what he did, " i didn't do nuttin'!" he protested.

"Well we's gotta get him out!" Race said,lighting up a cigar and throwing the match on the ground.
Rhiana heard them planning to help bust Jack out and spoke up, "I wanna help." she said.
"Yeah screw da judge.." Jack muttered,kicking the little bench that the guy was sitting on. "He's paid off anyway."

Jack just smirked at him,crossing his arms.
Rhiana smiled, "I tried to help by tripping one of the...bulls." she said,that word felt funny on her lips.
Race smirked, "Good fah youse kid." he said,that kinda put her on his good list.
